Dr. Robert G. Wilhelm Executive Director Charlotte Research Institute University of North Carolina at Charlotte An experienced educator, researcher, engineer, and businessman, Dr. Robert G. Wilhelm provides executive and administrative leadership for the Charlotte Research Institute (CRI), UNC Charlotte’s portal for business-university science and technology partnerships. With its research centers housed in three new custom-designed buildings on the Charlotte Research Institute Campus, CRI helps companies initiate new partnerships at UNC Charlotte and offers a variety of opportunities to engage talented faculty and make use of specialized facilities that are available only at UNC Charlotte. Wilhelm is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science in the William States Lee College of Engineering. Dr. Wilhelm has wide experience in both academic and business circles. At UNC Charlotte since 1993, Wilhelm was a founding faculty member for PhD programs in Mechanical Engineering, Biotechnology, Information Technology, and Nanoscience. He served on the committees to form the School of Computing and Informatics and the PhD program in Optical Sciences and Engineering. Most recently he served as the associate director of the Center for Precision Metrology, an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center funded by the National Science Foundation. Before coming to Charlotte, Wilhelm worked at the Palo Alto Laboratory of Rockwell Science Center and at Cincinnati Milacron. He co-founded a high-technology manufacturing company, OpSource, Inc., in 2001. Wilhelm holds a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from Wichita State University, a master’s degree in industrial engineering from Purdue University, and a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Wilhelm also pursued postgraduate studies in Great Britain as a Rotary Foundation Fellow. His research and teaching have been recognized with the National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award. Dr. Wilhelm serves on a number of regional, national, and international advisory boards for scientific research, engineering, community and economic development, and philanthropy. Dr. Michael A. Fiddy Director Center for Optoelectronics and Optical Communications University of North Carolina at Charlotte The Charlotte Research Institute and the Center for Optoelectronics and Optical Communications at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte welcomes participants to its workshop on Computational Imaging and Superresolution. This is the fifth summer workshop to be sponsored by the Charlotte Research Institute and we are very grateful to them for their support. We also thank MITRE Corporation and the National Science Foundation for their sponsorship of this workshop. Recent advances in technologies for optical wavefront manipulation, optical detection, and digital post- processing have opened up new possibilities for imaging in the visible and IR. New imaging systems are emerging which differ in form factor and capabilities from traditional imaging and camera designs. The DARPA MONTAGE program pushed forward ideas for reduced form factor cameras incorporating new concepts in integrationof optical, detection, and processing subsystems. This has lead to emerging capabilities for co-design and joint optimization of the optical, detection, and more importantly, information processing aspects of imaging systems. A parallel effort, IARPA’s PERIODIC program sought new functionality by exploiting a number of lenslets to capture and fuse different information about a scene. This too has lead to new ideas about what defines a camera. Both programs have advanced the integration of microoptics technologies and new algorithms that can reduce data acquisition while extracting more information of value. This workshop will bring together researchers withboth hardware and software expertise as well as mathematicians and physicists who are actively working on the fundamental issues of information theory and light-matter interactions, to bring new ideas to this exciting field. Diverse communities that have not interacted before, such as the IEEE computational photography group and experts in fundamental limits to optical superresolution will participate.Our intentionis to bring together these different communities, provide a stimulating environment and ample opportunities for exchanging new ideas. Following the style of a Gordon Conference, we hope to have provided sufficient time throughout each day and in the evenings for participants to interact with each other and form long term collaborative partnerships, that advance the field. A special thanks goes to those who have had to deal with all of the logistical and planning details that go into making a workshop such as this a success. This meeting would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of Mark Clayton, Karen Ford, Jerri Price, Margaret Williams and Scott Williams. MICHAEL FIDDY received his Ph.D in Physics from the University of London in 1977, and was a post-doc in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London before becoming a tenured faculty member in 1979 at Queen Elizabeth College and then Kings College, London University. Between 1982 and 1987, he held visiting professor positions at the Institute of Optics Rochester and the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. Dr. Fiddy moved to the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 1987 where he was Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Head from 1994 until 2001. In 2002 he moved to UNC Charlotte to become the founding director of the Center for Optoelectronics and Optical Communications. He was the topical editor for signal and image processing for the J.O.S.A. A from 1994 until 2001 and has been the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Waves in Random and Complex Media (Taylor and Francis) since 1996. He has chaired a number of conferences in his field, and is a fellow of the Optical Society of America, the Institute of Physics and the Society of Photo-Optical Engineers (SPIE). His research interests include inverse problems and optical information processing We Thank our Sponsors: Dr. Andreas G. Andreou Electrical and Computer Engineering Center for Language and Speech Processing and Whitaker Biomedical Engineering Institute Johns Hopkins University [email protected] Title: Silicon Eyes Biological sensory organs operate at performance levels set by fundamental physical limits, under severe constraints of size, weight and energy resources; same constraints that sensor network devices have to meet. Eyes are specialized sensory structures in biological systems that are employed to extract information from the intensity, polarization and spectral content of the light that is reflected or emitted by objects in the natural environments. Reliable and timely answers to the questions: “Is there anything out there?”, “where is it?” and eventually “what is it?” is the goal of processing that follows the photoreceptor mosaics. This is in contrast to CCD or CMOS video and still cameras that have been developed for the precise measurement of the spatial-temporal light intensity and color distribution, often within a fixed time interval, for accurate communication and reproduction in electronic or printed media. In this talk, I discuss bio-inspired image sensor architectures
